Help[Opinions] Re: Ted as a nickname for Edgar?
in reply to a message by Tisiphone
I had a great-uncle named Edgar, and when my sisters and I were children, we used to call him "Uncle EGG-er". As we matured into teenagers, we began to pronounce his name "ED-gar"---on the rare occasions that we referred to him. I always thought that "EGG-er" was just a childish mispronunciation. Do any adults say, "EGG-er", I wonder?
